It's a pale blue color with hints of green. Its grown super fast, but has since stopped, I think due to lack if space in my small 20 gallon lol. The picture is fairly close to in person.

Mine came from Blue Zoo (along with some fish), shipping company lost the box for an extra day but everything still arrived alive in clear water.

You think it's a chili leather? I thought chili leathers were NPS.
Looking at pics online I feel its closer to a sinularia than chili.

Yes, this is NPS.... Is there a reason you think it isn't?
Right now the rare soft coral I have that I have not seen many with is the Red Pulsing Xenia. It's a true Xenia that of course pulses under low current and just like the common Xenia most see grows similar other than that its much slower in growth. The photo below is a bit older when I first obtained it.

I dont believe it is a chili. I have looked at quite a few online and the structure is very different. Much closer to that of a sinularia.
It grows well with med lighting, and I feed very light. If it were NPS, I would imagine it would have withered away by now.
I have no experience with NPS, just my assumption though.
These are older pics, with a lot of blue light, but up close.
Anyone else have any insite?

I think you misunderstood, my response was to someone asking what one of my photos were, not yours.

Yeah upon further research, it looks like they asked both of us the same questions.

Yes! I moved it to a new location and they came out much further, unfortunately it's in a weird spot to try and get a photo. Lights aren't even in ramp up yet, I'll see if I can catch a photo for you tomorrow though.

@Chlorinated it looks like one I have. It has a faint blue color that is hard to capture on film unfortunately!

I am looking hard for Pink Pulsing Sinularia but can't find any. Does anyone have a source on them? Thanks
